Defense carries BGSU football in MAC win at Buffalo

BUFFALO — Bowling Green State University’s football team had its miscues on Saturday, but the Falcons made up for it with their best defensive performance of the season.

BGSU forced a season-high five turnovers, allowed a season-low 238 total yards, and returned a blocked punt for a touchdown as the Falcons posted a 24-14 Mid-American Conference victory over Buffalo at a wet and rainy UB Stadium.

“You saw glimmers of some really good stuff, but there’s some things we need to clean up,” BGSU coach Scot Loeffler said. “We’ll get them cleaned up, but any time that you can clean a game up and win, it’s a heck of a lot better than losing.
